"Interview with a Burglar" E-Book Released by Home Security Giant Protect America, Inc.
Austin, Texas (PRWEB) May 01, 2014 -- Protect America, Inc., home security pioneer with decades of experience in residential and business defense, has released a free downloadable e-book (Interview with a Burglar) detailing how and why burglaries occur - as well as simple steps homeowners can take to prevent them.
The "Interview with a Burglar" e-book takes real research conducted by interviewing hundreds of seasoned burglars, as well as statistics from the FBI. Protect America explains and visualizes what motivates burglars, how thieves operate when committing crimes, then recommends unique tips for making homes less appealing targets for burglars.
Some interesting statistics include what interviewed burglars sought when entering a home, the ways in which many of them were able to gain entry, and relevant tips such as optimal lighting and safe social media usage for homeowners.
“Burglary is a problem we are all faced with,” said Protect America President Scott Fleming. “Unfortunately for criminals, modern technology allows society to share information, be proactive and stay one step ahead. Protect America is always seeking to inform and help communities in new and innovative ways, and this is a unique opportunity to do just that.”
Over 200 burglars, some with extensive criminal and property crime history, were interviewed in a report compiled by the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. This report, named "Understanding Decisions to Burglarize from the Offender's Perspective" includes a vast amount of detailed data, such as the motivation for burglaries, what factors are considered by burglars during target selection, what deters burglars from burglarizing specific targets, and more. The UNC Charlotte report served as the pool of information consolidated and assembled into statistics and infographics by Protect America for its Interview with a Burglar e-book.
